However, when active oxygen scavengers and other additives are used in PET bottle production clarity can decrease, which negatively impacts product appearance, customer appeal and brand value.
RECYCLABILITY & rPET Brand owners wishing to operate with a Circular Economy need to use higher levels of rPET in their packaging.
Brand owners need to ensure the oxygen scavengers used in their PET bottles maintain their oxygen scavenging efficacy with the introduction of increasing levels of rPET.
